[To accompany bill H. R. No. 473.]
MARCH 15, 1832.
Mr. HUBBARD, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, made the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Lothario Donaldson, report:
Petitioner enlisted for three years in March, 1781, in the regiment commanded by Col. Henry Jackson, in the Massachusetts line on continental establishment, and served till about February, 1784, when he was discharged. He has not accounted for the disposition of his property, according to the rules prescribed by the War Department. In 1827, he sold his farm in Medfield, in the State of Massachusetts, for 2,500 dollars; of which amount, about 1,500 was appropriated to the payment of a mortgage on the said farm. Petitioner testifies, that, after selling his effects, and paying his debts, he left Medfield, with eight hundred dollars, and removed to Rochester, in the State of New York. Samuel F. Wilder testifies, that he has been acquainted with petitioner since 1821, and that petitioner did move from Medfield aforesaid, "having previously converted his property into money, the whole amounting to about 800 dollars, as deponent always understood and believes." Petitioner purchased a lot in Rochester aforesaid, for 150 dollars, on which he erected a building, now in an unfinished state. It appears, from the testimony of the said Wilder, that petitioner became involved in debt, (which your committee believe, as he appears to have had at Rochester no adequate means of procuring a livelihood by his personal exertions,) and that he conveyed his real estate at Rochester, by a deed in the nature of a mortgage, to his son-in-law, Walter B. Johnson, of the city of Philadelphia, to secure the payment of 900 dollars advanced by the said Johnson; which fact is also proved by the affidavit of said Johnson. Robert King and George Fisher testify, that the value of said real estate is not more than 750 dollars. It appears, in testimony, that petitioner is indebted to sundry persons to the amount of about 200 dollars; and your committee believe that he has no adequate means of support, and, therefore, report a bill granting him a pension.

Payable semi-annually. The first payment on this Certificate will be made on the 4th of September , next, in Massachusetts , at the Branch Bank of the United States , Boston .
